Slain Michigan neurosurgeon Devon Hoover’s car discovered

A car belonging to the respected Michigan neurosurgeon who was found dead and wrapped in a sheet in his ritzy Detroit home over the weekend was dumped at a different location — as authorities still haven’t revealed a suspect.

Dr. Devon Hoover, 53, was found fatally shot and stuffed in the attic of his sprawling mansion in Detroit’s historic Boston-Edison District on Sunday evening.

However, his vehicle was mysteriously discovered abandoned on the city’s west side, Fox 2 reported. The exact whereabouts of the car are unclear.

Hoover’s body was wrapped in a plastic sheet when authorities found it during a welfare check. He reportedly was single and lived alone.

As of Thursday morning, no suspects have been arrested but authorities believe the killing may be tied to a domestic incident.

At the time of his death, Hoover specialized in neck and back disorders for Ascension Health at St. John Hospital.

Former patients remembered him as a kind and talented physician.

“Not only was he a fantastic surgeon but just a wonderful human being,” Adam Walder, a patient of 20 years, told WXYZ.

“Those three days in the hospital [after surgery], he’d come in the morning to check on you, call you after your discharge to check on you. You just don’t see that anymore.”

Though records show that Hoover had practiced in Detroit for over two decades, social media posts indicate that he was originally from Indiana.

One Facebook photo shows the doctor smiling alongside his six sisters and parents at a party last summer.

“I’m inspired by Uncle Devon’s kindness to everyone,” one of Hoover’s nephews, Winston Lechlitner, wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.

“It’s such a tragic loss and still many unknowns, and yet, I think these all dim in the reality of the fact that his life, even though ended to soon, positively impacted literally hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of people.”
